Hello everyone,

I am trying to use while loop to iterate a function until convergence. But I
am having problem when I try to use a fixed number of iterations.
Say I want to use maximum iteration of 150. If the value don't converge
within maximum iteration, show warning of no convergence.

Currently I don't have non- convergence problem so I think my code works
fine. But in future I may encounter such problem that are likely to not
converge easily.

Below is my function that is working when I don't provide maximum iteration.

iter<- function (Fpi, Time, tolerance){
S = 22.4
Ts = 0.499
Ti = 0.25
K = 0.044
r<- 1.5
M = Ts- Ti
Ks = 0.044
     Fpt = K*Time + M*S*log(1+ Fpi/(M*S))
       while((Fpt-Fpi) > tolerance) {
         Fpi = Fpt
             Fpt = K*Time + M*S*log(1+ Fpi/(M*S))
     Fp0 = Fpt
    }
 return(Fpt)
}
x<- iter(Fpi = 0.224, Time = 0.2, tolerance = 0.000001)

But I want do something like this ( conceptually)
for( i in 2:itermax) {
  Fpt[i] = K*Time + M*S*log(1+ Fpi/(M*S))
if((Fpt[i]- Fpt[i-1])<= tolerance) break
print(Fpt[i]
}
something like this.

any kind of help is highly appreciated.
thank you
